Luckily, I always find 1-2 people who are willing to head out to lunch with me. I, mostly, bring back my lunch to the office to eat so I always get people who ask to come with me to get whatever I got...or they go there by themselves. Sometimes, if I go pretty far, I do end up going by myself, but I am a midtown luncher on a serious mission...to eat a good lunch on a SERIOUS budget. No want of having 'lunch friends' can detour me off of my mission. EVER!!! I know that this is an old post, but it’s still relevant to me.

They all order food off of seamlessweb and eat in their offices. I'd totally be game for not only leaving the office, but meeting up with other adventurous eaters.

No kidding. Whenever we had staff lunches, we were really limited. No one seems to care that I eat mostly vegan, haha. Anyway, I understand your sentiments. It's not just my co-workers who have different tastes than me. When I eat at a restaurant, I want the food to be really special (or else I'd eat at home for "free"). But my friends go to any place, no matter how generic or sucky. Oh, I work at 39 St. and 3 Ave., so if you need a lunch buddy, e-mail me!

Since I turned everyone on to midtownlunch, however, we've been occasionally heading out in small groups to check out the recommendations. Katy Roll and Burger Joint are current big hits for the group. I'm going to have to organize a trip to Sophie's next. Interestingly, in my office, solo lunch used to be the general rule.

It's very impressive - the lengths you will go to eat something good for lunch everyday. We should have a downtown meets midtown lunch one day!
